Mikrotik

    The MikroTik integration offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a MikroTik RouterOS based router.

    There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

    • Presence detection

    Prerequisites

    You have to enable accessing the RouterOS API on your router to use this platform.

    RouterOS uses a ping test to determine client presence, make sure you are not blocking this on the client (Windows firewall default behavior), as this will result in the provided device_tracker having the state not_home.

    Terminal:

    /ip service
set api disabled=no port=8728

    Web Frontend:

    Go to IP > Services > API and enable it.

    Make sure that port 8728 or the port you choose is accessible from your network.

    配置

    Use a certificate

    To use SSL to connect to the API (via api-ssl instead of api service) further configuration is required at RouterOS side. You have to upload or generate a certificate and configure api-ssl service to use it. Here is an example of a self-signed certificate:

    /certificate add common-name="Self signed demo certificate for API" days-valid=3650 name="Self signed demo certificate for API" key-usage=digital-signature,key-encipherment,tls-server,key-cert-sign,crl-sign
/certificate sign "Self signed demo certificate for API"
/ip service set api-ssl certificate="Self signed demo certificate for API"
/ip service enable api-ssl

    If everything is working fine you can disable the pure api service in RouterOS:

    /ip service disable api

    The user privileges in RouterOS

    To use this device tracker, you only need limited privileges. To enhance the security of your MikroTik device, create a "read only" group with solely API and ping test permissions and add a user to that group:

    /user
group add name=homeassistant policy=read,api,test
add group=homeassistant name=homeassistant

    You will be prompted to set a password for the newly created user. Depending on your RouterOS version and configuration, you might need to set a password yourself:

    /user set [find username=homeassistant] password=PASSWORD
